You can _not_ add new lines to a book.bin. Import won't work on a pgn
input. It expects to read pgn with a special note at the end of each line
giving the learned results for that line. Your "import" is therefore doing
nothing at all...
if you want to add to the book, you have to do the following:
1. save your book.lrn file as another name (learn.dat for example).
2. combine your old pgn file (used to build book.bin) with the new pgn you
want to add.
3. build your book from the new pgn.
4. import learn.dat
and you are ready to go with new lines, and the old learning stuff still
intact...
